<b>Assuming </b>you or someone is <b>equally</b> comfortable with
both operating systems, and given my last 47 years experience with
running computers, I'd pick an open-source operating system every
time. Windows is poorly designed, and talking to people who
worked on the design team, they agree the design environment was
chaotic, and not psychologically or job-safe for people who had
issues with design decisions.<br>

We ran a literally life-and-death mission-critical hospital system
on Solaris, (admittedly a vendor product from Sun at the time) and
it was up for 630 days without a reboot or downtime, when we took it
down to move its location in the machine room. We had to cycle
the windows servers daily to keep them from dying from some
ill-designed memory leak, etc. <br>

is a better OS to run mission-critical OpenSim instances on:
Windows or Linux. I currently run on Windows, but I'm starting to
run mission-critical instances, and if Linux is better than I want
to move to that. Any thoughts?<br>

Thanks,<br>
